WHAT IS WASTE WATER? HOW IS IT GENERATED?


Wastewater treatment is a process to convert wastewater - which is water no longer needed or suitable for its most recent use - into an effluent that can be either returned to the water cycle with minimal environmental issues or reused.
We consider wastewater treatment as water use because it is so interconnected with the other uses of water. Much of the water used by homes, industries, and businesses must be treated before it is released back to the environment. Nature has an amazing ability to cope with small amounts of water wastes and pollution, if we didn't treat the billions of gallons of wastewater and sewage produced every day before releasing it back to the environment. Wastewater is used water. Water used to flush toilets to evacuate human excreta is called “Black Water” or Sewage. The water that emerges after these uses contains such as human waste, food scraps, oils, soaps and chemicals. In homes, this includes water from sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers. Businesses and industries also contribute their share of used water that must be cleaned. This water is referred to as “Grey Water” or sullage. Wastewater also includes storm runoff. Although some people assume that the rain that runs down the street during a storm is fairly clean, it isn't. Harmful substances that wash off roads, parking lots, and rooftops can harm our rivers and lakes.
The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent, is discharged back to the environment. As solid material decays, it uses up oxygen, which is needed by the plants and animals living in the water. Treatment plants reduce pollutants in wastewater to a level nature can handle. "Primary treatment" removes about 60 percent of suspended solids from wastewater. This treatment also involves aerating (stirring up) the wastewater, to put oxygen back in. Secondary treatment removes more than 90 percent of suspended solids.


WHY TREAT WASTE WATER?


The major aim of wastewater treatment is to remove as much of the suspended solids as possible before the remaining water, called effluent. Wastewater is treated to remove pollutants (contaminants). Wastewater treatment is a process to improve and purify the water, removing some or all of the contaminants, making it fit for reuse or discharge back to the environment. Discharge may be to surface water, such as rivers or the ocean, or to groundwater that lies beneath the land surface of the earth. Properly treating wastewater assures that acceptable overall water quality is maintained.
We cannot allow wastewater to be disposed of in a manner dangerous to human health and lesser life forms or damaging to the natural environment. Health problems and diseases have often been caused by discharging untreated or inadequately treated wastewater. Such discharges are called water pollution, and result in the spreading of disease, fish kills, and destruction of other forms of aquatic life. The pollution of water has a serious impact on all living creatures, and can negatively affect the use of water for drinking, household needs, recreation, fishing, transportation, and commerce.


HOW IS WASTE WATER TREATED?


Wastewater treatment consists of a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes and operations to remove solids, organic matter and sometimes, nutrients from wastewater. Wastewater treatment is a process used to convert wastewater - which is water no longer needed or suitable for its most recent use - into an effluent that can be either returned to the water cycle with minimal environmental issues or reused.
Human health being the number one reason to treat wastewater, the larger environment suffers as well due to multiple factors from untreated water. Soils and water bodies contaminated with industrial waste renders these resources useless for agriculture, recreation and wildlife habitation
Wastewater treatment is usually based on the need to reduce organic and suspended solids loads to limit pollution of the environment. Wastewater treatment aims at safe disposal of human and industrial effluents, without danger to human health or damage to the natural environment.


WHAT DOES A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT DO?


Treatment plants remove impurities contained in wastewater so that the treated wastewater can be safely returned to the environment. This same stabilization process occurs in nature to break down wastewater into its most basic components of carbon dioxide and water. Common methods of treatment include physical, biological and chemical treatment steps to stabilize the wastewater. Green eco wastewater treatment plants are designed to accelerate and control nature's process to insure proper treatment is provided.


HOW SEWAGE TREATED WATER CAN BE RECYCLED AND REUSED?


There are a number of technologies used to recycle water, depending on how pure it needs to be and what it will be used for.
Wastewater reuse can reduce water use in both urban and rural households. Most homes use potable (drinkable) water for practically everything in the house and garden. We are literally flushing our drinking water down the toilet. Urban households typically have a connection to a centralized, or reticulated, sewage system, whereas rural households manage their wastewater.
Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, and replenishing a ground water basin. Recycled water is also used to replenish sensitive ecosystems where wildlife, fish and plants are left vulnerable when water is diverted for urban or rural needs. Water recycling offers resource and financial savings.


WHERE DOES THE WATER GO ONCE IT IS TREATED?


Treated wastewater is returned to the environment by a number of different methods. Depending on the degree of treatment and local regulations, it may be absorbed into the soil, discharged directly into a surface waterway or reused by a method like spray irrigation.


ARE WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS REALLY NECESSARY?


Wastewater treatment systems serve primarily to protect the health of the general population by insuring that water supplies remain clean. In today's world, people live a lot longer than they used to and higher population concentrations result in increased organic loading to the waterways from a variety of sources. Modern wastewater treatment systems contribute to a safer, cleaner environment by reducing this organic load and controlling the presence of bacteria and waterborne diseases. Also to worry a lot more about typhoid, cholera and other infectious diseases that are transmitted by unsanitary water.


WHAT IS STP?


Sewage Treatment Plant is a facility designed to receive the waste from domestic, commercial and industrial sources and to remove materials that damage water quality and compromise Public health and safety when discharged into water receiving systems.


WHAT IS THE STP PLANT?


Wastewater treatment plant or Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, primarily from household sewage. It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove these contaminants and produce environmentally safe treated wastewater (or treated effluent).


WHAT IS SEWAGE SYSTEM?


Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, consisting primarily of household sewage. It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants.


WHAT IS EFFLUENT?


Effluent is the treated water at the end of the treatment process.


WHAT IS ELECTRO COAGULATION EC?


Electro coagulation (EC) is a broad-spectrum treatment technology t hat removes total suspended solids (TSS), heavy metals, emulsified oils, bacteria and other contaminants from water.


WHAT IS REUSE OF WATER?


Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, and replenishing a ground water basin (referred to as ground water recharge).


WHAT IS RECYCLED WATER?


Recycled water is wastewater that has been purified so it can be used again for new purposes. We treat wastewater from our sewage treatment plants to produce high quality recycled water that is suitable for a range of non-drinking purposes.


IS SEWAGE WATER RECYCLED?


Reclaimed water or recycled water is former wastewater (sewage) that is treated to remove solids and impurities, and used in sustainable landscaping irrigation, to recharge groundwater aquifers, to meet commercial and industrial water needs, and for drinking.


WHAT IS A DOMESTIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM?


Domestic wastewater treatment systems include all septic tanks, waste water tanks and treatment systems receiving, storing, treating or disposing of domestic waste water. It also includes all fittings and percolation areas associated with such tanks and systems and drains used to discharge waste water from a premise, whether or not a receiving tank is present.


WHAT IS SEWAGE SLUDGE?


Sewage sludge refers to the residual, semi-solid material that is produced as a by-product during sewage treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater. The term septage is also referring to sludge from simple wastewater treatment but is connected to simple on-site sanitation systems such as septic tanks.


HOW OFTEN DOES SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT NEED TO BE SERVICED?


Service is to be carried out every 6 months. Results from the tests for water purity and system efficiency are provided to you and your local authority.


WHAT DISTANCE FROM THE PROPERTY DOES THE PLANT NEED TO BE?


Septic tank must be located as far as practically possible from the home. Advisable to maintain at least 15 meters distance.


WHAT IS AN INDIVIDUAL OR AN ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM?


Individual or advanced wastewater treatment systems consist of mechanical aeration or filtration units that enhance the treatment of domestic wastewater. A polishing filter is installed after these systems to allow further treatment of the wastewater. These systems may be suitable in some areas where a septic tank system is not acceptable. Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems Serving Single Houses provides general guidance on the location, design, installation and maintenance of both secondary treatment filter systems and packaged wastewater systems.


HOW DO I INSTALL A SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT?
